Hearing Lu Fan ask a question he already knew the answer to.

Nangong Qi rolled her eyes at Lu Fan, then took Lu Xi's hand and said to Lu Fan.

"Of course not. With you helping my sister, I feel much more at ease. Why did you come looking for me? You can just go to the finance department to get the money."

After Nangong Qi said that, Lu Fan smiled awkwardly.

Then, seeing the two of them sitting in his office, he asked Lu Xi with some confusion.

"You have the nerve to say that? Secretary Ge clearly told me that if anyone wants to take money out of the company, they have to get your signature. So, when you told me about taking money before, you just wanted me to come to you again."

Nangong Qi knew nothing about it anyway, so she looked at Lu Xi beside her, who was just there to help.

Lu Xi handled all the specific matters and also explained why the two of them had come here.

"I forgot, I forgot, it's all my fault, I was busy with other things all morning."

After hearing his sister's words, he slapped his forehead in frustration.

Then he quickly walked to his desk, took out a financial document from the drawer, and said to Lu Xi.

"What have you been doing? Have you invested in any projects recently?"

Hearing that Lu Fan had been very busy lately, Lu Xi walked up to his desk with a smile and asked him curiously.

"It's just bidding for a project. I have so many investment companies under my management, I'm already overwhelmed with work."

Lu Fan, who was writing with his head down, didn't dare to look up. He couldn't tell her that he had gone to see Dongfang Shuo.

Lu Xi had finally gotten over that incident, and after thinking for a moment, she used other words to gloss over it.

"Alright, go get the money from Secretary Ge."

After filling out the form, he signed his name and handed it to Lu Xi.

"Um.

Lu Xi took the form and turned to walk towards Secretary Ge's office.

Secretary Ge's office was right across the street, so she didn't take Nangong Qi with her.

"How have you been lately?"

Lu Fan also felt somewhat guilty towards Nangong Qi.

Then he sat down in his office chair, not daring to look up in Nangong Qi's direction, and asked Nangong Qi with his head down.

"It's alright. Ever since I went back home, my family has kept me locked up at home and won't let me out."

Nangong Qi felt a pang of sadness upon hearing Lu Fan's words.

Nangong Qi knew in her heart that there was no possibility between the two of them, and replied to Lu Fan with a wry smile.

"Did your family agree to let you come out this time?"

Nangong Qi returned home because of herself, and went to beg her family to get her out of prison.

Hearing that Nangong Qi had suffered so much for his sake, he felt somewhat guilty.

Then I remembered that he came out to help me again this time, and I was also afraid that what happened before would happen again.

"It's nothing. I've already promised my family that they'd let me come out, but it's fine as long as I don't continue working for your company."

Nangong Qi then explained to Lu Fan the reason why he was able to come out this time.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Oh dear, Miss, why did you knock before coming here?"

Secretary Ge, who was working, heard someone knocking on her door. She looked up and saw Lu Xi standing at her door. She quickly stood up with a smile and said something.

"You're my brother's confidant, he doesn't even trust me. Here you go!"

Looking at the smiling Secretary Ge, Lu Xi handed over the form that Lu Fan had just given her and said.

“Miss, you’re joking. No matter how much I manage these funds, it’s all for the Lin family’s benefit. There’s nothing wrong with the orders. You can just transfer the money directly from the Jiang Group’s accounts. Your company’s location is in that building next door; the chairman has already made arrangements.”

After looking at the list that Lu Xi had brought over, he explained to Lu Xi everything that Lu Fan had arranged beforehand.

"That building next door, I've had my eye on it for a while now, I didn't expect my brother to buy it right away. By the way, has my brother been busy with this these past few days?"

Hearing that his brother had already made arrangements for him saved him a lot of trouble.

Then, remembering what Lu Fan had said he was busy with, he turned to Secretary Ge and asked.

“Your brother is really good to you, but he only talks the talk. The rest of the work is done by our subordinates. You took so much money at once, so of course your brother has to find a way to make more money. Otherwise, the company can’t keep its money flowing.”

Secretary Ge, who was looking at the list, heard Lu Xi attribute all the credit to Lu Fan.

Some people disagreed and said this to him.

"I heard from my brother that he went to the bidding agency to do something?"

She had a feeling that Lu Fan was talking strangely to her just now, and judging from what Secretary Ge was saying, he might know the whole story.

"You won't find out about this if you ask anyone else. I went there with the chairman, Liu Shang, the chairman of Shanggong Construction Group, and his business manager Zhang He. We went head-to-head with Dongfang Investment at the bidding office and completely shut them down..."

Hearing that Lu Xi wanted to hear what she had to say, Secretary Ge perked up.

She recounted everything about the bidding process to Lu Xi, and when she mentioned Oriental Investment, Lu Xi interrupted Secretary Ge.

"Wait a moment!"

"What's wrong?"

Secretary Ge, who was getting into the middle of her talk, was suddenly stopped by Lu Xi, and was a little confused about what she had said wrong.
